===Interrobang=== {{Main|Interrobang}} In 1962, American advertising executive Martin K. Speckter proposed the interrobang (β½), a combination of the question mark and exclamation point, to mark rhetorical questions or questions stated in a tone of disbelief. Although the new punctuation mark was widely discussed in the 1960s, it failed to achieve widespread use.<ref name=fonthaus>{{cite web | first = Allan | last = Haley | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080507055249/http://www.fonthaus.com/xheight/interrobang.cfm | title = The Interrobang Is Back | url = http://www.fonthaus.com/xheight/interrobang.cfm | date = June 2001 | publisher = fonthaus.com | archive-date = 7 May 2008 | access-date = 3 December 2010 }}</ref> Nevertheless, both it and its inverted form were given code points in Unicode: {{unichar|203D|Interrobang}}, {{unichar|2E18|Inverted interrobang}}.
